Abstract

Researchers at the University of Montreal, Canada, studied spectral analysis of non-REM sleep (stages 2, 3 and 4) and REM sleep EEG in 6 boys (age 10.3 +/- 1.2) with ADHD compared to 6 healthy controls.

Highlights

  • Researchers at the University of Montreal, Canada, studied spectral analysis of nonREM sleep and REM sleep EEG in 6 boys with ADHD compared to 6 healthy controls

  • Researchers from the Universities of Wollongong and Sydney, Australia, report that increased delta and theta in frontal regions in unmedicated girls with ADHD was normalized by treatment with methylphenidate

  • Epileptiform activity in the EEG is reported with varying frequency from 7% to 30% of children with ADHD (Hughes JR et al Epilepsy & Behavior 2000;1:271-277; Ped Neur Briefs Oct 2000;14:73-74)

Summary

Introduction

The prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in young children at the time of stroke and in age-matched healthy controls was compared in a case-control study conducted at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada. A sensory temporal processing deficit impairs the ability to relate word sounds and letter sounds and to associate the printed letter (grapheme) with the appropriate speech sound (phoneme). SLEEP EEG IN BOYS WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER Researchers at the University of Montreal, Canada, studied spectral analysis of nonREM sleep (stages 2, 3 and 4) and REM sleep EEG in 6 boys (age 10.3 +/- 1.2) with ADHD compared to 6 healthy controls.
